The differences and visions between skilled and unskilled ; workers are much less pronounced; in Germany than in Britain. At the time of my visit, when the fate of excharge was anything between 4000 j and 6,000 marks to the pound, the . average wage was -in the neighbor-. hood of 40 marks an hour. "It would be foolish of course to suggest that there is no poverty in Germany. I was fold by those who are in close touch with the life of the German worker that the general standard of comfort is lower today than anything experienced by the present generation of German work ers. But even so, although I visited some o'f the poorest parts of Berlin, I saw nothing so sordid as the pov erty and squalor of the poorest dis tricts of Glasgow, Edinburgh,. Leeds or London. "The republic is possessed of enor mous material wealth and. intellect ual resource which have not been de' ftroyeil by military defeat. On the contrary, it may soon be apparent . that military defeat has but awaken- j ed new powers by ridding the life of 1 the German people of the domina tion of the militarist and imperialist castes."

PROBLEM THIS YEAR PITTSBURGH, Oct. 7. Pitts burgh's fog problem may he solved this winter by local scientists. Lubrication of the Monongahela river is the keynote of an idea which is being developed at the Mellon In stitute. Dr. H. B. Mellcr, dean of the school of mines of the University of Pittsburgh, and officials of the War Department and weather bureau are cooperating. The Monongahela, according t ) the scientists, is the chief villain in Pitts burgh's fog troubles. The river which is warmer than the air sweeping the valley, fives up a po-tion of its wat- er which rises as vap r and quickly cools. A film of oil prevents this union, but the problem for the investigators at Mellon institute was to concoct a . mixture that could be used at a res- In preliminary tests this spray cov erall small areas of water, and was only 1 -25th as thick as the ordinary oil film which is used to destroy mos quitoes. The first experiment on the Mo- liongahela will be made within a f c v days. The bombardment will he from a tug. Specially constructed nozzles j will be used to spray an- area of about dl-'one mile. Subsequent activities will 1 ' depend upon the outcome of this test. i 1 1 , . GENERAL JOHN W. COTTEN. Another Land Ma.U gone! Hp was bo,.n jn Rai,.j,rh 7K year . nis life was lived in Tarboro. A Southerner to his heart's core, he was a true lover of his country. His erect military bearing indicated j the born soldier, and it 'did W.pass from him in his declining years. As captain of the Edgecombe Guards, as major in the Spanish-Am-j w hich the eastern republican reac c rican war. as brigadier general of i tionaru's used the tariff on agricul .... , the State Militia, as 'Shriner and grand master of the Masons, as direc-j tor OI tne uxior.l wrpnanage, iiciicu.ar kotwuit t..e I served with honor and distinction. He was one of those brave boys of the sixties, who wore the Gray, those boys that power could not corrupt, defeat could rot dishonor, nor death dismav. He had a heart overflowing with sympathy, and was ever ready to lend' a helping hand. In days gone by, he ,'aSKCa many a nigh'; with the sick and th(, jyjntr jre had closed many PVcs for the sleep that knows no wakir.g. He has gently wrapped the winding sheet around many a cold and lifeless form, and given t'leer and comfort to those left behind. For these deeds and others, straight from the heart, without money and without price, he was "beloved by his fellow men. His memory will not fade away, but will linger as the years glide by. On Sunday, October 1, at, sunset, he answered the "One Clear Call," surrounded by those he loved. A large gathering of relatives and friends attended the sad and solemn i service in Calvary church, of which he was a faithful member. He sleeps there under the shade of the trees, by the side of loved ones gone before. Peace to his ashes, rest to his soul. "We cannot say we will not say That he is dead he is just away. With a cheery smile and a wave of the hand. He has wandered into an unknown land. : ' ; Think of him as the same, I say, ' He is not dead he is just away." . . K. S. P. There were 3746 bales of cotton, munting round as half bales, ginned in Edgecombe county from the crop of 1922 prior to September 25, 1922, as compared with 4,424 bales ginned to September 25, 1921, Farmer Gets The Husk. e DUTIES ON AGRICULTURAL PRO- DUCTS TO BE INOPERATIVE; THE FARMER WILL NOT BE BENEFITED ONE BIT BY THE TARIFF; HE MUST SELL ABROAD WHERE NO TARIFF. THERE IS By GRATTAN KERANS. WASHINGTON, Oct. 7. Final proof that the Fordncy-M cCumbor prefiteors' tariff bill gives the husk to agriculture and the kernel to the big iiidi!strial trusts and monopolies has so lingered Senator Cameron, re publican, Arizona, that he not only refused to vote, fcr the moasur: but threatens to 'revolt against other leg- . islntion which the Urarling adininis trat'.on has or its program f(r the benefit of the special interests. Senator Cameron's defection came when he beheld the Republican con- r, Hw. i,.;ir Kill .I..,, ricultu rnl products'. 01 the prolcr- t ion" hi y were promised in order to win th.' voles of Western Republi- cans. The Republican conferees at- ll,N'"" "' "" " the high rates of the bill by cutting " I the duty on wool, corn, long ;taplei ' . 1 ....in..;,., ;t cotton and on other products i f the the excessive protection bestowed on manufactures. It is now announced by actuaries 'nf the treasury that the duties im will j noted on agricultural products . , I he inoperative as a means of produc- ' ' . ing revenue because of an absence of! imports of the commodities they cov- I er. They will be equally fruitless in I giving ' protection to American pro ducers who have to sell their sur- -plumes- '-of ".-grain abroad where no American tariff can avail to afford markets er increase prices. Tariff Bait for Western Senators. Senator Cameron exposed in his peech in the senate the trick by , tural pioducts as a bait to get tne votes -if Western Senators. His par-j of the cuty originally levied h, the! bill on long staple cotton, in which j Arizona has a big investment and in-, creasing interest. The picture Sena-, tor Cameron drew of the way in which the Arizona cotton growers were betrayed and flouted by the eastern Republican ieactionaries is new light on the workings of the. clique by whom and for whom-the Fordmy-McCumbor bill was written. "The story is easy to tell," Sena tor Cameron said. "The -great tire manufacturers and spinners, all in- terests using the raw material (long , feat of thp Smith.McNary bill which staple c.tton)' who were already roll-jwas a,,t;e(1 . an amendment to the ing in war profits, not content 'tliS()i(iers' bonus bill but rejected by the tariff protection provided for fm-(he Rl,publican conferees and ree- isne.i products, organized in tne oia-: fashioned way, turned loose their money; spread misleading, unfair and malicious propaganda; seni represe..-; tPtives to Washington, among them ah ex-member of this body, who but tonholed the managers of this prop osition into a recession of this tariff rates and thereby with the wink of an eye, and for ho good reason, they smashed this great industry and wip- ed out the chances of the people for an honest liuing in producing a need ed commodity." It is noteworthy that the. Demo crats charged the: Republicans with using these tactics as to other items in the bill, but Senator Cameron was not deeply moved until his own ax was gored. , -Republican Senators Attack Loan,. The Liberian loan, which is design ed at once to catch negro votes in certain northern states and to offer speculators the opportunity to cash at par the Liberian obligations they purchased, according to Senator Bo rah, at 10 and 20 cents on th. dollar, was also attacked by Senator Came ron during his angry outburst in the scnato. 5 - "That .bill (authorising the L.bc rian loan) was fu.ste.l upon this body ckln authority to l,n to Liberia vepublic having less than 50,000 civilized inhabitants. 3,000,000,000 "aeu upon wnai tncy ic.nieo muiai i obligations," he said. I "The two propositions side by side ptcsent a contradictory picture. It is proposed, on tne one nami, to give $5,000, (Mill outright to a foreign, un civilized country for that is what it v. ill amount to while, on the oth er hand, the same leaders deal death j blew on long staple cotton to more J people in Arizona tlian arc in the i foreign country." j Senator Cameron then pointed out , that cotton may be grown in Liberia, j and added : I "Is it not a sorry day when we sit I here and sanction the giving of mil ! lions of American dollars, paid by j cotton raisers in Arizona and clse 1 where, to Liberia t" develop a for- fio-ti rnmni'l it ivn indllstrv that will I drive the toilers of our Country, en gaged in the same industry, deeper and deeper ii'to ruin?"

Senator Cameron's candidacy for t))f vnl(, was opposed, by the po litical friends of President Harding and he feels that he is strong enough to risk a fight with the administra tion. He plainly notified the senate that he would not accept their lead ership, and warned them of its con sequences. After reminding them that he had beaten the Republican organization in Arizona, Senator Cameron said: "Therefore I owe no allegiance to any organization, no matter of what party faith or creed."

GROPg MATURING RAPIDLY DUE TO DRY UUISI III! Cnins have mateured rapidly since Sei te'i.ber 1." as a result of high temperatures and lack of moisture i which have prevailed generally ovw most of the country, according to the sinw-monthly crop notes of the Unit ed States Department of Agriculture. A number of important crops have m.vlured too j-ap: lly. In New England here were frosts o'cr the whole dis trict, bi t crops suffered only slight damage. Corn has matured very rapidly in practically all parts of the-country, its ripening being tiavtened by high temperatures. In Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas and Michigan, much corn is reported to be chiefly due to premature ripening; Silo filling is well advanced and ivarlv completed in several sections. A smaller crop of merchantable corn than usual is re ported fiom Kansas. The harvest of tobacco is over in Pennsylvania. The crop was damage.) coiifi.ierblv bv hail and is uneven.

'No late news from other sec tions have been received. The cotton crop has generally de leiiorated since the middle of the month. Its maturity has been hasten ed by prevailing hot weather and drcught a'-d bolls in many sections have opened prematurely. Boll wee vils have been active over practically the whole belt. Picking is under way generally and in many sections the supply of pickers is sdinrt particular- i 'y in Oklahoma and Texas. The supply of farm labor is ample in ail sections except in part of the cattle belt. Farmers, howtvor, are commoniy feeling unable to pay the wages, demanded when prices for the products are not hig-h. In general, it may be said that crop comiliions have fallen slightly since the. last condition statement.

Bertram E. Brown.) Now, unto Him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think. Eph. 3:20. It is impossible for us to realize the depths of our ignorance of God and His ways. We are not able to anticipate His blessings, or to under stand His reasons for holding back blessings from us. That is why it is necessary for us to have complete :ith In God, for we can have no un derstanding of Him at, all, and if we did not have faith, we would not have anything. Now, our ignorance of God's ways and purposes is shown in the wonder ful fact that He always gives us more than we ask for, or even know that we. need : 1, The prayers that seem unan swered are prayers really answered beyond our wildest dreams. We ask, . sin si sometimes' tic. onswors fry. Hrfitlg ,;'. us eternal life W" ictheit wotfld." We ask for more mot '." perhaps, and He ' answers by giving us content in pov et ty, which ' is worth more than wealth. I am. sure I never prayed a prayer that God did not answer, tho often He gave me so much more than 1 asked for that I failed to recognize the answer. 2. We cannot ask for all we need. The very best we can do is to ask for what we want. What we need, nrd what we want are generally quite different things. A man may want million dollars, while all he needs is fifty cents for a dinner. He may want the earth, while all hp really needs six fict of ground for a grave. It is a hksed state when one's wants and ' needs are the same. Now God cert.iin'y does satisfy our needs when v.-e In' e Him, but so often we wonder why H-; does not also satisfy our wants. 3. The utmost that we can ask or Wiope for is some tangible, compre hensible thing. We cannot desire something that we cannot even im agine or think of. Now God does this marvellous act of love and mercy w e ask l or something we Want and understand, imd He, instead of giving us that, gives us Himself. Many an one, seeking something at God's hands, finds to his tuazement that' he has found God .ir.t"t, a gift worth ii finitely more ..ian what ha sought for. I have had that experi ence often asking and hoping for some little earthly blessing. I sud denly realized that I was admitted Into the very presence of God Tim self, and feel Him enter into my "5 CHURCH MEMBERSHIP IN TARBORO. '-- '':,;; Rev. B. B.
